Mayweather vs Pacquaio Prop Poll (pick 3)

Post by caldo2025 »

32 more days to go until the fight most of us have been waiting for. Most feel that Mayweather will win the fight but most are hoping Pacquaio pulls it out. I find it inconceivable that this fight lives up to the hype but what if it does? What if we are about to watch the greatest fight in the history of the sport? As a die hard, just seeing these two guys in the ring exchanging will do it for me. As I visualize the possibilities inside the ring, I wanted to see what you all thought were the most likely happen when these two finally face-off. Please pick the 3 most likely to happen May 2nd out of the 10 possibilities. I'd also like to hear some of your possible outcomes not listed here as i'm sure you all have some great ones (probably better)

Zab knocked down Floyd & Pacquiao dominating Floyd is hardly going to be a major shock. He's pretty much dominated everyone not named Marquez. I think the fight will be a great fight though I like that option.

This fight could have great action and fans will still boo.They always boo at some point.

One fighter could dominate the entire fight and some fan boys will still see their fighter winning.

Who ever loses will be declared shot and was over rated all this time.


Those are my predictions

Most likely thing to happen is Floyd beats Manny easily to relatively easily & is NOT considered the greatest boxer ever by a large segment of fans & Manny is in fact called a cherry picked opponent by the Sunday morning boxing critics. I've seen this one happen numerous times already & I don't see anything changing on May 2 in this regard if Floyd wins.

Second most likely thing to happen is we will be 80%-90% likely to be seeing scorecards & at least one of those scorecards will have most fans watching thinking boxing is the most corrupt sport that large amounts of people watch & mainstream sports people will be sh!ttalking boxing come Sunday morning anytime the decision gets discussed.

Third most likely thing to happen is all the national anthems & boring intro pageantry bs gets me so annoyed & frustrated (fml if that flute playing cat is there again) that I'll use a highly insensitive & maybe controversial term to describe one of the people singing or doing some other annoying thing on the TV to the displeasure of at least one of the people I'm watching the fight with.

what's more likely is that Pacquiao brings too much for Mayweather and clearly wins about 9 rounds, only for you and your Floyd groupies to bitch that Floyd outclassed Pacquiao by running away and was robbed cause everyone hates Floyd wah wah wah.

I see a one-sided beatdown of Manny at the hands of Mayweather, so my choices shouldn't be had to figure out.

Announcers will be calling for the fight to end long before it actually does.

It only figures a Pac Pipe Blower like yourself would say something as stupid as "is hardly going to be a major shock." Anyone and everyone in their right mind (not a Lumpia Licker like you) would be utterly stunned if Pac was to "dominate" Floyd. Beating Mayweather is one thing but for anyone (especially Manny of all people) to be able to dominate him would be a total shock to anyone who is a real fan of this sport.

Only Carlos Hernandez gets credit for officially knocking down Mayweather.

Mayweather hurt his brittle hands battering Hernandez, and the pain finally caused him to touch his gloves to the canvas just as Hernandez was hitting him with a glancing blow.
It's arguable but it goes into the record books as the only official KD in Floyd's career.

No knockdowns were credited to either Judah or Corley.

Sugar Shane came pretty close to dropping Mayweather, but the champ demonstrated his toughness and wiles by withstanding two terrific right hands from Mosley in the 2nd round.

And what is MOST important to remember about the time Mosley rattled his cage is that a hurt Mayweather went FORWARD AND SOUGHT TO EXCHANGE.

Roach might be trying to generate a lot of smoke pre-fight, but my guess is that there has been so many false ideas put out there about Floyd that, come fight night, Manny may find himself in the ring against something he is completely unprepared for psychologically.

I disagree with this if it happens to Manny, he has already lost several times and been KTFO as well and yet no one has said he's overrated all this time, on the other hand-should Floyd lose then you will hear everything negative under the sun about him.

Yet you would say "is hardly going to be a major shock if Mayweather dominates Pacquiao" right? Infact, you think Mayweather is going to get a KO :lol: :lol:


Yet, Pacquiao has dominated nearly every opponent he;s ever faced (bar Marquez, who he's 2-1-1 against), and Floyd has't knocked anyone out in nearly 10 years, in his last few fights he's looked like he would need a bat to get a stoppage.

Dicksucker.

Nothing you've stated can dispel the BS you wrote earlier about it hardly going be a major shock, if you want to find out for sure then please do a Poll and ask the question. I can guarantee that nearly everyone (you being the exception) will pick that it would be a shock if Manny beats Floyd.

There's a reason Mayweather is the favorite.

PS: Pac hasn't had a KO in a longer time than Floyd and he was fighting a far smaller man than Floyd was in Maidana, he hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and dude still finished the fight on his feet. Manny looked like he needed a bazooka to finish the skinny man Algieri.

I can almost guarantee you that it will be something between these two:

1. The fight goes the distance and the judges decision is highly controversial causing outrage/rematch
2. The fight is so evenly matched that the decision could go either way and be acceptable to fans

Namely it will be a close fight. Point decision will go to Floyd. Both Pacquiao and Floyd fans will think their fighter won. Everyone else will be divided in the middle. Nothing will change. Maybe a rematch.

Holyfield already called it, if it's controversially close then the nod will go to Manny because everyone wants to see the rematch.

I can't stand the KO stat comments about as much as I dislike the "it should have happened 5 years ago" bs. Who cares if Manny and Floyd haven't had a KO in so many years? These guys are the cream of the crop. Everyone is gunning for them and their opponents are normally more prepared and well trained than any point in their careers for these fights. Their opponents come in TOP shape. It's not easy to knock someone out at the top of their game. Both guys could have fought a 20th rank fighter a pump their stats but they don't. They fight the best available typically and the fights are bright lights and PPV by the world so the KO stats are just ridiculous to me. That's what makes Floyd the greatest in history IMO (and i hate him btw). No one has been in bigger fights in the history of the sport and he does nothing but win. Every fight is enormous. I can't find another boxer in history to him. I hope he gets his head knocked off but even if Floyd loses, I will consider him the best boxer i've ever seen. SRL used to hold that sport with me but i can't fight it anymore. Floyd is the greatest I've ever seen.

The objective is to win rounds and these two are the best in the world at that. This fight is most likely going to be the most technical battle we've ever seen and though the action may be light through most of the fight, their brilliance matched inside the ring will be amazing to watch. A KO is the least likely to happen in this fight IMO. These guys are just too great.

You know there are people who dog Floyd out for saying he is TBE when his stats prove what he's actually stating; in any other sport stats are the determining factor but only because it's Mayweather and this is boxing will people hate on it.
